instructions
    1

    Begin by marinating the beef. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and finely chopped green onions. Add the beef, ensuring it's well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer if time permits.

    2

    While the beef is marinating, prepare the rice according to package instructions. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.

    3

    After the beef has marinated, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef along with all the marinade. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and caramelized.

    4

    In the last 2 minutes of cooking the beef, grate the carrot and add it to the skillet, mixing well to combine.

    5

    Once the rice is ready, serve a portion in a bowl, top it with the beef and carrot mixture, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

    6

    Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired and enjoy your Bulgogi Beef Bowls!
